400 YEARS
400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo o o o)
And it's the same
The same (wo o o o) philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years;
(400 years, 400 years. Wo o o o, wo o o o)
Look, how long (wo o o o)
And the people they (wo o o o) still can't see.
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone
All gone astray
Come on, let's make a move:
(make a move, make a move. Wo o o o, wo o o o)
I can (wo o o o) see time (wo o o o) time has come,
And if a fools don't see
(fools don't see, fools don't see. Wo o o o)
I can't save the youth:
The youth (wo o o o) is gonna be strong.
So, won't you come with me;
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live live a good, good life
And be free.
Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Way too long! (wo o o o)
That's the reason my people (wo o o o) my people can't see.
Said, it's four hundred long years (400 years, 400 years. Wo o o o)
Give me patience (wo o o o) same philosophy.
It's been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long! Wo o o o, wo o o o.
How long? 400 long, long years.

BRAIN WASHING
Ooh ooh
Old Mr. Joe, he build a house away
On top of some hill
Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so he
He got right down and wrote bank will
He say now, here's to mother hen
And her chicken, Lord have mercy now
Master, will you take a roll in the mud
Like you know you should?
The old barnyard, the old barnyard
Birds and the chick, ooh wee
Who's got to watch out for brother mongoose
With his top hap and walking stick?
It's just the poor's brain washing
(Poor's ...) They told me a long time ago,
It's just the poor's brain washing, ooh wee
(Poor's brain washing) Now look at a thing like this
Cinderella and her long lost fellow
In the midnight hour, she lost her silver slipper
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
While Jack and Jill had themselves a fall
It's just the poor's (... brain washing)
And I don't need it no longer (... washing)
It's just the poor's brain washing
Coming through to a poor man's child, ooh wee, look at this
Little Miss Muffet she sat on a tuffet
While Little Red Riding Hood delivered her grandmom's food
Ooh wee ooh wee
Ooh wee, look at one more thing like this
The cow jumping over the moon
While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon
It's just the poor's brain washing
And I don't need it no longer, I don't want it no longer
I don't need it no longer (...washing)
And I don't care for no more brain washing (... washing) ...

HALLELUJAH TIME
Hear the children cryin',
but I know they cry not in vain.
Now the times are changin';
love has come to bloom again.
Smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops
reminds us of youthful days.
But now it's not rain that water the cane crops,
but the sweat from man's brow;
the substance from our spine.
We gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time:
Hallelujah time!
Yes, you can hear the children singing: Hallelujah time!
As they go singing by and by: Hallelujah time!
Oh, hallelujah singing in the morning.
Hallelujah time! Let them sing; don't let them cry.
Over rocks and mountains
the sheep are scattered all around.
Over hills and valleys,
they are everywhere to be found.
But though we bear our burdens now,
All afflictions got to end somehow:
From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough.
Why won't you let us be, to live in harmony?
We like to be free like birds in a tree.
Hallelujah time! Yes, you can hear the children singing.
Hallelujah time! Yes, as they go singing by and by.
Hallelujah time! Oh hallelujah singing in the morning.
Let them sing; never let them cry.
Hallelujah time! Hallelujah singin' in the morning.
